Nikola Milenkovic to wave goodbye to Fiorentina amid West Ham interest
Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic is set to wave goodbye to his current club amid interest from West Ham United.
Calciomercato has shared the latest update, comparing the Serbian’s impending exit with Lionel Messi at Barcelona.
It is being described as the “decisive stages” of any deal, with the Irons ready to pounce and pay up to £12.7million.
The interest is really growing.
Numerous clubs across Europe have been watching Milenkovic, including Manchester United in the Premier League.
As well as them, both Milan clubs, Juventus and Sevilla are said to have held an interest in recent months.
With interest in Kurt Zouma gone, the Irons have done well to pick up negotiations over Milenkovic and hopefully that serves them well in winning this race.
Get it done.
With Calciomercato reporting that Milenkovic has all but said goodbye to his current team, it is time to press the accelerator.
It isn’t time for GSB to try and secure a bargain move, they have to pay what is being asked and leave no room for it to collapse.
The price of £12.7million would be a bargain anyway, so get the money paid and bring the Serbian to the Premier League.
We can’t accept another failed move after months of this transfer window with no real progress, David Moyes would be fuming.
Bringing in a defender before the start of the season will leave another three weeks to get other deals done, and we desperately need that.
Expect movement soon, with a left-back, midfielder and attacker still on the wish list of Moyes and the Irons.
